- 76 million residential buildings - 5 million commercial buildings By the year 2010, another 38 million buildings are expected to be constructed. Nearly 70% of electricity produced at US power plants is consumed by the existing residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. THE US STORY

PARASITIC PRIMARY ENERGY USE – EQUIPMENT BREAKDOWN Parasitic energy use in commercial building HVAC systems accounts for about 10% of commercial sector energy use. 2005 emissions in the US were 5954 MMTons Residential sector 1243 MMT (20.8%) commercial sector 1056 MMT (17.7%) Space conditioning or HVACR equipment in the US for commercial & residential sectors uses energy which can be equated to approximately 700 to 900 MMTons. The commercial sector HVACR emission is approximately 373 MMTons.

India’s electricity consumption stands at 587 billion Kwh in 2006, out of which currently 8% is being used by the commercial sector and 25% in the residential segment. Commercial Buildings 32 % for ac / 60 % for lighting / 8 % others Emission in the commercial sector can be estimated between 11 and 14 MMT on account of installed space conditioning equipment. Slated for construction by 2010 12 million homes, 600 shopping malls, 80 million square feet of offices and 200 townships, along with airports, hotels, hospitals and schools.

The central plant market in India is currently growing at 23% per year and the market for large chillers (centrifugal and screw) is expected to grow at 30% per year. In 2005, the centrifugal chillers market is estimated at 60,000 cooling tonnes and the market for screw chillers is estimated at 300,000 cooling tonnes. This new annual installed base of centrifugal and screw chillers alone in India represents an addition of over 1.2 MMTos of emissions. HVACR energy use in commercial buildings currently represents over 6% of total country emissions in US 1 to 2% of total country emissions in India However, in the case of India, this percentage is rising extremely fast on account of 12% growth in demand for electricity in commercial buildings.

Building ‘GREEN’ promotes resource conservation , including energy efficiency , renewable energy , and water conservation features; consider environmental impacts and waste minimization ; create a healthy and comfortable environment ; reduce operation and maintenance costs ; and address issues such as historical preservation , access to public transportation and other community infrastructure systems . The entire life cycle of the building and its components should be considered, as well as the economic and environmental impact and performance.

Embodied energy is the sum total of the energy necessary - from the raw material extraction, to transport, manufacturing, assembly, installation as well as the capital and other costs of a specific material - to produce a service or product and finally its disassembly and/or deconstruction. Different methodologies produce different understandings of the scale and scope of application and the type of energy embodied. Like operational energy, embodied energy is an indicator of the level of energy consumption for a building. Some commercial buildings the embodied energy can be equivalent to 20 to 37 years of operational energy and consequently, it is a major source of energy consumption within a building. Material kg carbon equivalent per tonne produced Steel 300 to 850 (depending on % scrap steel)
